Take a look at the hints below for guidance!
HINT 01
Have you accessed the ILEDB website mentioned in the internal assignment? (Head over to https://iledb.com/ ) and use the login information provided in the internal assignment. You’ll need to work out what the password is using the clue given to you on the same document.
HINT 02
The internal memo states that ‘this month’s password is the nickname I inadvertently ended up with last month’. Who signs off the Internal Assignment? This will help us with looking for the ‘nickname’.
HINT 03
M. Lombard, Chief of Police signs off the Internal Assignment. Read through the rest of the evidence in the case file and take note of any mentions of M. Lombard. M. Lombard is the Chief’s real name, look for an alternative name for the Chief.
HINT 04
Turn your attention to The Miami Chronicle clipping dated Friday, March 22, 1985. In particular the ‘Mayor Pitcher’ article. What anomaly do you notice in the article relating to M. Lombard?
HINT 05
In the 4th paragraph, it states ‘Chief of Police, Mitchell Pombarf’. Later in the same article, it references ‘Police Chief Lombard’. The Chief’s real name is M. Lombard. What might his nickname have been?

Still struggling to access the ILEDB? What is the error message that is displayed, could you use this information to correctly identify the password?
